F   Dm G   Am    G 
  
  
[Verse 1] 
  
    Am              Em 
Oh, life is bigger 
  
It's bigger than you 
            Am 
And you are not me. 
                        Em 
The lengths that I will go to, 
                     Am      Em 
The distance in your eyes, 
                     Dm 
Oh no, I've said too much, 
         G 
I set it up. 
  
  
[Chorus] 
  
                 Am 
That's me in the corner, 
                 Em 
That's me in the spotlight 
            Am 
Losing my religion. 
          Em 
Trying to keep up with you. 
      Am                          Em 
And I don't know if I can do it. 
                     Dm 
Oh no, I've said too much, 
                G 
I haven't said enough. 
  
  
[Bridge] 
  
  G                        F 
I thought that I heard you laughing, 
  Dm             G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D 
I thought that I heard you sing. 
Am   F               Dm   G   Am     G 
I  think I thought I saw  you try. 
  
  
[Verse 2] 
  
          Am                   Em 
Every whisper of every waking hour 
                   Am 
I'm choosing my confessions, 
          Em 
Trying to keep an eye on you 
       Am                                 Em 
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool 
                     Dm 
Oh no, I've said too much, 
         G 
I set it up. 
  
  
[Verse 3] 
  
         Am 
Consider this, consider this, 
    Em 
The hint of a century, 
         Am 
Consider this: the slip 
     Em 
That brought me to my knees failed. 
Am 
What if all these fantasies 
     Em 
Come    flailing around? 
         Dm       G 
Now I've said too much.

I thought that I heard you laughing, 
        Dm        G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D 
I thought that I heard you sing. 
Am   F               Dm  G   Am    G 
I  think I thought I saw you try.

But that was just a dream, 
C               Dm 
That was just a dream.

Try, cry,   why,   try.

That was just a dream,    just a dream, just a dream, dream.
